"Bill Horak, Chair of nuclear science and technology at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, was also skeptical about the ice wall idea when interviewed in September of 2013. “There’s an aquifer underneath the plant that runs out to the sea, like an underground river,” he told ABC News. “It picks up contaminants that have leaked into the ground, and no one has a good handle on how contaminated that water is.” Horak also isn’t sure either whether Japan’s ambitious project is the right direction to head in, but he offered an extremely lame analogy, anyway. “When we had a leak at Brookhaven about 13 or 14 years ago, we put in a bunch of wells to pump the water before it got off site,” he said. The lab kept the water in a closed loop and played the waiting game for the radioactive element tritium to decay naturally. “I don’t know if anyone has actually tried this frozen wall concept for this type of activity.” No Bill, they haven’t. You would think the Chair of nuclear science and technology at Brookhaven would have known that, but whatever. And, you would also think he would recognize the difference between ‘a leak’ at Brookhaven, and ‘thousands of tons pouring’ at Fukushima."
